I just installed DenyHost and I'm configuring it. Here is what changes I did:
Code:
# To block all services for the offending host:
BLOCK_SERVICE = ALL
Code:
DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID: block each host after the number of failed login
# attempts has exceeded this value. This value applies to invalid
# user login attempts (eg. non-existent user accounts)
#
DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID = 2
Code:
# DENY_THRESHOLD_VALID: block each host after the number of failed
# login attempts has exceeded this value. This value applies to valid
# user login attempts (eg. user accounts that exist in /etc/passwd) except
# for the "root" user
#
DENY_THRESHOLD_VALID = 2
The rest is the defaults. Is there anything else that I should change in DenyHost?
P.S. I Also followed this guide:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AdvancedOpenSSHand did the recommended changes to my config file. I also generated my RSA keys id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. Now I don't understand how can I use those from my other Ubuntu computer at work or with my XP/Putty laptop? The guide is a little confusing at that point.
